3 GTX 680's under water

[Elganja]

Finally got my computer back together...

P18997 w/ +75 GPU and + 425 Memory

3d Marks breakdown:
Graphics Score 26712
Physics Score 10428
Combined Score 9827
Graphics Test 1 126.77 FPS
Graphics Test 2 142.82 FPS
Graphics Test 3 171.44 FPS
Graphics Test 4 72.9 FPS
Physics Test 33.11 FPS
Combined Test 45.71 FPS

A couple of notes:

• it's just a small OC on the cards
• my CPU is holding me back a little bit (which is very hard to believe)
• GPU's are running at 16x/8x/16x (this can be hurting the scores a little bit too)
• nvidia needs to work on their scaling a little bit!
• coming from 2 480's, I'm happy as hell

Not the best pictures, but you get the drift...

Can I ask what you need this kind of GPU power for?

I'll answer with a picture (albeit, just using the center 30inch monitor now since PLP isn't supported in surround):

That's a sweet rig bro! :drool:

 

[OCGuy]

Now THAT is a rig. A+++ would look again.

 

[blackened23]

Awesome rig dude :thumbsup:

 

[RavenSEAL]

I hate you, a lot.

Damn that is beautiful, the white hoses on black are classy. Wow even white PCI-E cabling. That link that each waterblock is connected to, is it designed just for those blocks, and only for triple config? (I don't know water stuff). Man I hope you have pics posted with Corsair. Rig of the month or something I'd say..

they are made for ek blocks and come in sli, tri sli and quad sli flavors

I have not, didn't know they even had something like that

Not sure if Corsair does, but EVGA does. Blue Ribbon material for sure..

Verry niccce!

 

[RavenSEAL]

It's ok, I don't hold grudges. :biggrin:

 

[OVerLoRDI]

Sweet setup. I like it much.

Looks like single loop? What pump and bay res are you using? Also why serial vs parallel setup for the flow on the GPUs?

Oh and load temps as well?

 

[billbobaggins87]

vry nice

 

[tviceman]

Amazing setup! Your right most monitor's brightness/contrast levels are off vs. the other two. That would drive me nuts.

Pretty sure that is lighting, look at the bezel.

Damn thats sick man.

I think this speaks for a lot of folks here

[dajeepster]

why did you go with the serial link on your gpu blocks instead of a parallel link.
just curious.

I can understand serial if you don't keep it underload continuously... sorta.

I went with a parallel link on my 3-7970 gpus because i keep them underload 24/7, to help keep the temps consistent accross all three, instead of getting hotter down the chain.

 

[superccs]

I wonder when Corsair and Antec are going to make closed loop h20 kits for GPUs....

Damn, I'm losing it. I didn't really feel like that...I used to

Yeah that I know of.. I already have a couple ribbons there and got one for this build as well

Single Loop... for details on my watercooling setup parts, click on the link in my sig and look at the 2nd tab. It should have everything in there detailed.

Fluid: 25C-35C depending on load
CPU: ~35C Idle, ~45C underload
GPU's: ~29C Idle, ~40C underload
Average delta: ~10C for CPU and ~5C for GPU

Pretty sure that is lighting, look at the bezel.

it is... if the difference was that bad, it would drive me bat shit crazy. It is not however.

I don't run it underload continuously... hell I don't even leave it on (not to save power, the room just gets too hot in general with all the monitors and other equipment. If I leave the a/c running non stop, every other room in my house is FREEZING)

In terms of parallel vs serial, for some reason I feel a ton more comfortable with serial over parallel.... besides all my gpu's are within 1C of each other at idle and load. So why go parallel?
